Brock, I don't have too much to offer here, except that we collected the
seeds from Tony Ciliberto's 714.6 down here, and a few of them were starting
to open. After I dried them, I sent all of them to Tony. When I talked to
him later, he said he tried to start some of the open ones to see if they
were still good. I believe he said he tried six, and all six germinated and
were growing just fine. So if you wanted to play out your hunch, maybe you
could hold some that are just starting to pop open and grow them next year.
Maybe if they have started to open, that would be a clue that they are ahead
of the pack.
Interesting subject.
